Hi JimEli
"However 'Max. takeoff rating' is for some reason not defined in the Flight Manual (not in mine anyway). So extra power is available for the purpose of taking off, but cannot be used continuously. So just how long does 'taking off' take? Presumably, the VEMD will log any exceedance of 'Max. takeoff' power, so it presumably has an in-built time limit. The question is how long is it?"
Not quite sure, cause I donīt have an EC120 rating.
When flying the bigger birds, you have to watch the speed when pulling beyond the red line - be below it before reaching 40 Knots - as far as I remeber ;-)
Otherwise the recording starts.....

P.S. and try, to fly without needing the extra bit - bloody stuff seems to fail more often, when operated at the limits....
Good old crawling away in the ground cushion Chickenhwak style takeoffs ;-)
